MSU Student Arrested Over Antisemitic Outburst at Dave Portnoy, Withdraws From School

Prosecutors are weighing a bias‑motivation enhancement under Mississippi law.

Overview

  • Police identified the suspect as Patrick McClintock, 20, and charged him with disturbing the peace after the incident was captured on viral video.
  • Starkville police said the video shows antisemitic slurs and coins thrown toward Portnoy during a One Bite pizza review outside Boardtown Pizza & Pints.
  • McClintock was processed and released on a $2,500 bond, and authorities said the case remains under investigation.
  • Mississippi State University confirmed McClintock, a junior mechanical engineering student, voluntarily withdrew following the arrest.
  • Portnoy published the full footage and McClintock’s mugshot, while groups such as EndJewHatred and the American Jewish Committee urged stronger hate‑related charges amid broader concerns about rising antisemitism.
